A feeling of uncontrollable anxiety when you think about or are exposed to crossing bridges

The feeling that you must do everything possible to avoid crossing bridges

The inability to function normally because of your anxiety

Often, the knowledge that your fears are unreasonable or exaggerated but feeling powerless to control them
